  1. Can FEMA offer natural disaster insurance for accommodation (incl during mandatory evacuations) & relocation if home is rendered uninhabitable (like deposits for apt rentals, Etc.) for low-income people at modest rates?

  2. TIME WIPES TEARS FROM ALL FACES?

    There's a time to worry, fight and forgive

    A time for crying, laughter and dance.

    A time to remember our troubles past

    Time for love, song, death, and romance.

    In every household, dilemmas occur

    Which challenge our resolve each day.

    We face what we can, then look to God

    As our friends and family pray.

    Troubles make us able to cry

    Sorrow teaches us to fear.

    Those days we’re selfish and cruel

    When life is so short and dear.

    Time wipes tears from all faces

    Whose hearts are tuned to sorrow.

    Those that cry a thousand tears

    Shall be blessed by tomorrow.

  3. I feel for the people affected by Hurricane Helene, but I don’t think my tax dollars should go toward paying for personal losses like homes or cars, especially for those who chose not to get flood insurance even if they weren’t on the coast. I believe public funds should be focused on rebuilding essential infrastructure to get cities and towns back up and running, not for personal recovery. These individuals elected their local officials, and they should be turning to them for support. I’ve always paid for flood insurance because I know the risks. People keep denying global warming, but the consequences are becoming more and more clear.
